Hi Mark.
X is window.
as I said above. Check.
Check tabs and you will see that tabs are contained by window.
You can have window that have no documents associated with them.
windows and documents are contained by the application, not by each
other.
All of which is exactly my problem. I want to create tabs in the
specific window that I get when I ask it to create a new document.
The problem is, the return value of "make new document" doesn't seem
to be much help in getting at the window that it just created. (If I
could get "make new window" to work instead, I'd use that.)
tell window x
Right - *what* do I put in place of that x?
If you just created the window, x is 1. Actually creating a widow is
the best way to go.
Downloads window I believe does not accept tabs.
For now I'm exploiting the fact that the new window created by "make
new document" winds up as the front window:
You can force that, make new window at front (x=1).
-- begin script
property username : missing value
property pass : missing value
if username is the missing value then
set username to text returned of (display dialog "Enter
del.icio.us username:" default answer "")
end if
if pass is the missing value then
set pass to text returned of (display dialog "Enter password:"
default answer "")
end if
set urlPrefix to "https://"; & username & ":" & pass &
"@api.del.icio.us/v1"
set tagsUrl to urlPrefix & "/tags/all"
set postsUrl to urlPrefix & "/posts/all?tag="
set tags to paragraphs of (do shell script "/usr/bin/curl --silent '"
& tagsUrl & "' | sed -ne 's/.*tag=\"\\([^\"]*\\)\".*/\\1/p' | sort
-f")
set theTag to choose from list tags with prompt "Select tag to open"
set urls to paragraphs of (do shell script "/usr/bin/curl --silent '"
& postsUrl & theTag & "' | sed -ne 's/^.*<post
href=\"\\([^\"]*\\)\".*$/\\1/p'")
tell application "Safari"
make new document
tell front window
repeat with i from 1 to count (urls)
set theUrl to item i of urls
if i = 1 then
set URL of tab 1 to theUrl
else
make new tab with properties
{URL:theUrl}
I do not thin that this line works. It did not for me.
Create the tab and then set the URL, as suggested in my previous e-mail
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
--end script
Incidentally, since Script Editor doesn't seem to do the persistent
properties thing anymore, what's the best way to get those property
values to stick around?
Can you elaborate on that?
Thanks.
